This shows the absolute hypocrisy that is the anti-piracy movement. They will sue someone's grandmother who doesn't even know what bit torrent is, yet cops, servicemen, and politicians can download all the copyrighted porn and other materials they want without fear of prosecution.

I tried this in a similar thread last week and everyone just glossed over it. I challenge the premise that Video games are "ruined". Can someone tell me how they arrive at this conclusion and why reports like this are wrong, never-mind the anecdotal evidence (Steam,Origin ...etc)From PC Perspective:

And while most gaming pundits have been telling us for years that PC gaming is dying, the report from DFC tells a different story:

From PC Perspective:

Based on revenue alone, estimates show PC gaming to surpass the sales of console games by 2014 with steady growth. How can this be? Have you stopped by your local Gamestop or Best Buy and seen the shelf space devoted to PC games compared to that devoted to the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and Wii?
Here is the key and it is something we have always suspected but haven't really been able to nail down: packaged sales are dying while digital distribution methods and new monetary game mechanics are increasing. Because the industry's most prolific digital sales platform is notoriously tight with sales numbers (Valve's Steam), we have to depend on third party reports from DFC and others. According to this chart, the digital sales of gaming on the PC are skyrocketing and will take PC revenues past consoles in just a few years time.

DFC, a marketing company that specializes in electronic entertainment and emerging trends says otherwise. The whole story can be had here:

Consoles have existed since the late 70's (atari 2600) early 80's (NES), if consoles were truly detrimental to video gaming do you not think they would have destroyed the industry long ago?

clarly the consoles is the wurst and is gay and killed gaming because PC maser reese!11!!one!!

No clearly consoles are not the death of gaming, because I still play my N64 and my Gamecube that have tons of great games I couldn't get on PC. The LATEST generation of consoles has definitely started some poor trends in my opinion. We're moving towards more linear games with "streamlined" gameplay because "customers want it" which is really code for "consoles have too many ram limitations for large levels, and the controller doesn't have enough buttons"

Crysis 2 is a great example. "Streamlined" suit controls which really just means a crippled nanosuit with controls that are made to work with the triggers on a game controller. Combined with linear levels that give the illusion of a large level, but only allowing you to access parts of it and redirecting you if you step away from what Crytek says you can go to.
